THE BOTTLE MARKET.
Yesterdays shorts Unable to
Fill.

Fill.
| Yesterday there was quite furry
in the bottle market. Il appears
that for some weeks prior to the
circus the boys about town had
been dealing in futures, in the bot
tie market and sold large quantities
of bottles, July delivery, to mer-
chants to raise money for the show.
These contracts matured yester-
day and the boys in endeavoring TO
fill their shorts, were confronted
with an unexpected scarcity of
stock. Bottles quoted at 25 cents
a dozen. rose to 35cts. on the morn
ing board. Livingston & Co.. John
Sweeny and Cap. Avery were the
principal holders of the July OPP
tons and insisted on immediate de-
livery.
Several of the small boy firms
called upon were unable to meet
the demands and called for an ex-
tension of time. The firms held a
meeting and in view of the extreme
stringency and sensitiveness of the
market, agreed to extend the time
Is days to tide the shakey firms
over the cricis. This news caused
much easier feeling in financial
circles.
Patsey Mulligan and Billy O'Hare
who were reported badly cinched
morning, made delivery
of ten dozen bottles in the after
noon at Livingston's clearing house
and are now all right in change.
Johnny Wright is reported to have
the necessary stock to
save their credit at per cent. a
month. 1t is thought that matters
will soon be restored to their nor
NAL condition. There are rumors
Of several light failures but nothing

HE SAW THE ACE.
A Game of Rather High Car
SON Poker.

BUN OAc1s
A few nights ago a Carson card
sharp fell in with a Genoa expert and
got into.some rather high play. At
last the Genoa man went 500 blind !,
and in the deal got three kings, his
opponent getting two queens. Each
man stood pat, and in the draw the
Genoa man got his other king, and
the Carson man got his other two
queens. There were two other
men fooling with the game little,
but had dropped out, not caring to
stride the blind.
The betting now got high between
the two, each raising the other in
good shape. When on the last
raise, of 800, the Genoa man be-
gan to weaken, suspecting from his
opponents stiff responses, that he
had four aces. Just as he was won
dering what he SHOULD do, he not
iced one of the players who had
dropped out, shutting the cards,
and for a second he saw an ace flash
in the discarded pack, and then he
knew he was safe. He met the
others raise with 800, more which
the other responded to and called
for show of cards.
"Four Green's"
"Four Aings."
Genoa Iaked in $3.50 net, and the
game dissolved.

TROUBLE AT THE LAKE.
The Landlords Have a General
Row Among Themselves.

1
Visitors at the Lake report a
queer state OF affairs there in the
shape of a triangular fight among
the landlords. The battle ground
is around the Tallac property.
1t appears that Baldwin owps
the Tallac and Gilmore owns
at the head of Fallen Leaf Lake
and Lilly Lake, as well as the
famous mineral springs.
Baldwin arranged with Gilmore
to give the latter the right to take
the Tailac guests on excursions to
the upper lakes and mountains.
Gilmore purchased horses and car
riages and improved the road and
for season made some money.
Baldwin then decided that if there
was money in it he might as well
make it. Acting on this idea he
withdrew his privilege and placed
line of carriages on the road him.
self.
This naturally riled Gilmore who
had made the road, and expended
considerable money on the PROPOSE
ton and he concluded to checkmate
his wealthy rival. He did it very
easily by simply fencing in his own
which amounts to several
hundred acres and commands the
road around Fallen Leaf Lake.
Next morning Mrs. Baldwin in an
elegant turn out reached the head |
Of Fallen Leaf Lake but found the |
way barred by Gilmore and a six
ply barbed wire fence. He in
formed Mrs. Baldwin that she had
the boundaries of his pri-
Tate land and he proposed to keep
t private for his own guests and
lot Baldwin's.
If she wanted to ga up to the
Gilmore Springs hotel and stop a
ew days, he would be happy to
axe her there free and treat her to
he best in the country for 81 day
She was at liberty to bring Mr..
Baldwin up also, at the same rates.
When Mrs. B. got back to Tallac,
Baldwin declared war on the tribe
If Gilmore and and all its belong
ngs. Gilmore, however, contin-
les his exclusive policy, and al
ows none to enter his romantic do
main unless they come up from

ow Tallac.

o freeze out, has allied himself
With Gilmore, and works on Bald

THE MURDERER NOT CAUGHT
Billy williams, tho Man who Shot
the Alexandria Policeman.

The killing Of Policeman Julian Arnold
was the subject Of conversation in Alex
andria yesterday, and while great sympa-
thy went out for the family OF the MUIR
dered man there was another Of vengeance
for the perpetrators of the deed. There
was considerable excitement about the
mayors court, and when the opening hour
arrived the crowd extended into the street,
so great was the curiosity to see John
Curran, one OF the gang who did the shoot
ing. In order to accommodate as many
persons as possible the session Of the court
was transferred to the corporation court
room. Messrs. j. w. Burke aud 3. G.,
Brent represented Curran, and instead OF
his being held for the grand jury, as stated
by an afternoon paper, the hearing, at the
suggestion Of counsel, was postponed until
Thursday next.
1t was suspicioned at the time Of the
committing OF the murder and escape Of the
man who did the firing, that from the
description given that person was Billy
Williams, of this city, another desperate
and dangerous burglar, whose penitentlary
record is well known. He has not been ar
rested in Baltimore, as stated, but the
circumstantial evidence against him Il
| strong, and believed to be sufficient to con
| Wet him Of the murder.
